Welcome to the ban list since minimum age is 18 to join. You are to young for many reasons and some will be listed soon. Hopefully you will not be to immature to understand why.

The young and Steroids

Due to the recent number of PM's ive been receiving regarding age and steroids I thought i'd write this thread to try and help some of our younger members. Ive also been having a conversation with my Endocrinologist who may give a more profession opinion on the subject:

There isn't an exact age were we all stop developing and growing because this is determined by our genes and DNA, we are all genetically programmed individually and we inherit our genes from our parents. To give an exact age we stop growing would be incorrect because everyone's genetic blueprint is different.The main development of our bodies is up to the age of 21yrs of age but this can vary between individuals. There are parts of our bodies what carry on developing and adjusting slowly up until the age of 25yrs old, an example of this is the brain. The Endocrine system is a part of the brain what is very complex and keeps our bodies in a homeostasis state. Our testosterone levels start raising and roughly peak around 25yrs old and then start to slowly decline, so even though some of us may have stopped growing at the age of 21yrs old, others may still be developing up until the age of 25yrs old.

I have recently spoken to my Endo regarding this matter and he tells me that the HPTA is very sensitive and as many pathways how it regulates the human body, he states steroids disrupt the normal balance of hormones in the body which can cause reversible and irreversible changes at any age but risks are far more if you administrate exogenous androgens during development, this will put you in a very unnatural environment at a crucial time and your hormones should be treated with care especially in the early stages of maturity. The adverse effects can be erratic behaviour of the HPTA and potentially therapy when your older.

I did ask him what age he would think would be the safest as far as risk to damages and he said many endocrinologist suggest full maturation is reached by 25 years of age and this would also give the HPTA time to be established with your natural hormone balance and patterns. I personally feel 24-25yrs old would also be ideal starting point to get bloodwrok drawn to see exact what your natural levels are before starting any kind of cycles and waiting till you have reach your testosterone peak would be a good starting point, for me there is to much evidence over the forums and what I've seen personally over the last 25yrs I've been bodybuilding . Obviously it isn't going to be all 19- 21yr old bodybuilders who suffer side effects what are irreversible but I am edging on the side of caution what age I advice to the newbies.

nah man try to understand me . I am mature thats why I am asking before i take the stuff

You need to be 18years old to post on this forum, sorry.

Using steroids at your age will results in some serious issue what will probably be with you for the rest of your life. Your natural testosterone hasnt fully developed yet and by shutting it down by using steroid could result in your natural test never reaching its peak which would result in some VERY serious problems with depression, unable to get hard, no sex drive, mood swings, weight loss and low confidance to name a small few.

DONT BE STUPID, STAY AWAY FROM STEROIDS THEY WILL DO YOU MORE HARM THAN GOOD AT YOUR AGE - FACT

If you are mature you will understand the facts and not take them and not give in to peer pressure.

At your age the best "gear" to start off with is food. Lots of chicken, steaks, baked potatoes, basically anything your grocery store has. The reason why you're small and weak is because you not eating enough food.

And stop giving a **** about the opinions of those other ****ers at the gym. If you eat big and train heavy, you'll eventually get the results you want. Use their laughs as motivation.

start a martial arts class if you're lacking self confidence, will do tonnes more for your confidence than lifting weights will ever do in a million years.
